finding your local S.A.M.E. codes
In this section we will walk you through the steps for where you can locate your local S.A.M.E. code.
For a step-by-step video describing this section, scan the QR code with your smartphone app
or visit www.hellocapello.com/weather-radio-video/#3
First, determine if you want to leave your weather alert radio preset for ANY county or counties in broadcast range, or if you want to select
specific county codes. You can obtain codes from the Federal Information Processing System (FIPS) in the USA, or Canadian Location Coded
(CLC) in Canada by selecting from the methods listed below:
S.A.M.E. (Specific Area Message Encoding) codes are six-digit identification codes assigned to each forecast region and sub-region to alert you
to adverse weather warnings, watches, advisories, covering about 80 different types of emergencies. Your All-Hazards Weather Alert Radio is
preprogrammed to receive weather and hazard alert transmissions for all S.A.M.E codes within range of your area, or it can be programmed with
up to 25 different S.A.M.E. codes for just your county or counties of your choice. For example, you can program codes of counties that are
nearby, or where relatives and/or friends live, or where you will be traveling.
For USA
The National Weather Service NOAA Weather Radio Toll-Free Number 1-888-NWS-SAME (1-888-697-7263)
An automated voice system will guide you through the menu to find your county and state 6-digit S.A.M.E code and local area broadcast to
tune your radio receiver. The voice system allows you to request additional S.A.M.E codes for other counties at the conclusion of each request.
The National Weather Service NOAA Weather Radio Website http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr
Select SAME Coding from side bar menu, Select SAME Codes for states, counties, territories, and Marine Areas. Select your State, and then
select County or Counties listed in alphabetic order. Your 6-digit S.A.M.E code always begins with “0” and your local weather station
broadcast frequency and call letters are also listed, some with alternate language options where available.
For CANADA
Environment Canada’s Meteorological Service Telephone Number: 1-877-789-7733 (Canada Only)
Environment Canada’s Meteorological Website: www.ec.gc.ca/weatheradio
Select Specific Area Message Encoding from side bar menu, Select your location on the active map, CLC codes will be listed for each region.
programming your S.A.M.E. county codes
In this section we will walk you through the steps for programming your local S.A.M.E. code(s).
For a step-by-step video describing this section, scan the QR code with your smartphone app
or visit www.hellocapello.com/weather-radio-video/#4
Your CR2W All Hazards Weather Alert Radio is preset to “ANY” to receive alerts and transmissions. If this is sufficient, leave the “COUNTY”
setting to “ANY.” For more options, follow the menu selections:
Customizing the S.A.M.E County Code settings
Press

Press
button again to program your Single code. The first digit space will start blinking.
Use the
arrow to scroll through digits 0-9 to input the first digit, which will should always be set to “0.”

Press
button to save your “Single” county code, then
to exit.
For “MULTIPLE” S.A.M.E. Codes
When “MULTIPLE” is selected, press
button to display “SAME 01.”
Press
button again to program your Multiple code. The first digit space will start blinking.

3 times to exit.
note: The display will automatically revert to clock when no buttons are pressed for more than 55 seconds.
Helpful Tips:
The S.A.M.E. code is created using the following method:
• The first digit is the sub-county code, 0 in most areas.
• The second two digits represent the state code.
•The last three digits represent the county code.

test signals broadcast by NWS
In this section we will walk you through the steps for where you can locate testing information provided
by the National Weather Service and when they will be transmitting test signals.
For a step-by-step video describing this section, scan the QR code with your smartphone app
or visit www.hellocapello.com/weather-radio-video/#6
All National Weather Service (NWS) stations periodically transmit test signals. You can find out when your local NWS station broadcasts test
signals by visiting the NOAA National Weather Service at http://www.nws.noaa.gov/nwr/nwrtest.htm Alarm Test Procedures page. Click on
“Programming Office” and then select your state and county from the map. Telephone and email address provided for your local NWS contact.
During the weekly test signal, the local NWS station will give a list of counties covered by their transmitter. The NWS test signal allows everyone
with weather radio receivers to verify the operation of their equipment.
The following test signals may be sent by the NWS during testing: Required weekly test, required monthly test, system demo, and national
periodic test.
note: A test signal is transmitted periodically, usually once a week at a scheduled time. Setting “REQUIRED MONTHLY TEST” to “ENABLE”
in “DEFEAT SIREN” menu allows you to receive an audible siren, voice or display alert when NWS sends this test signal, or set to “DISABLE”
to turn reception of this NWS test signal off. Check with your local NWS broadcast to determine day and time of weekly testing.
A “YELLOW” Advisory LED will light up followed by “Weekly Test” or “Monthly Test” message on display. There will be no tone sound to avoid
confusion of an actual alarm. The visual display will confirm that your radio is working properly.
No Reception Warning: If no alerts are received for 10 days, the display will flash “CHECK RECEPTION” every 30 seconds. If this happens,
check your channel settings and county codes for setting errors. If you receive a clear signal from the NWS, try using the “ANY” county code
setting to receive all alerts for all counties.
notes: If you have trouble finding reception, please move your radio closer to a window and away from fluorescent lighting.
